"Life as a Frog."

00:00:04.260 --> 00:00:07.380 align:middle line:84%
The teacher's calm voice
guides him to lie down

00:00:07.380 --> 00:00:09.300 align:middle line:84%
in peace at night
among the croaking

00:00:09.300 --> 00:00:12.030 align:middle line:90%
frogs of his own backwater.

00:00:12.030 --> 00:00:15.060 align:middle line:84%
He is ready to join in the
chorus but for the voice

00:00:15.060 --> 00:00:18.090 align:middle line:84%
he hears and toning, the
dry lesson for the day

00:00:18.090 --> 00:00:19.890 align:middle line:90%
with its logic and form.

00:00:19.890 --> 00:00:21.810 align:middle line:84%
Frogs are everywhere,
staring out

00:00:21.810 --> 00:00:25.290 align:middle line:84%
of the mouths of his classmates,
out of the teacher's mouth.

00:00:25.290 --> 00:00:28.260 align:middle line:84%
His study book lies
open before him.

00:00:28.260 --> 00:00:31.650 align:middle line:84%
Inevitably, a bell clangs
an end to logic and form

00:00:31.650 --> 00:00:33.840 align:middle line:84%
and he steps his
way out carefully

00:00:33.840 --> 00:00:38.840 align:middle line:84%
among the croaking hordes,
not to crush a bulging eye.
